[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Everyone here says gentrification is bad but if given the chance (income, right circumstances, etc.), 3/4 would become gentrifiers or already are. So really at best it’s lip service and virtue signaling, at worst they’re the worst hypocrites. The city won’t do anything about because of the $$$$$ in taxes and there’s really no solution besides building high density, lower cost housing, which the gentrifiers mostly oppose. It’s a no win situation...[/quote] Gentrification has allowed our inbound school to be renovated -- fixing broken windows, heating system that didn't work, removing asbestos, etc. The building was in a horrible state.[/quote]That's great! Are there still poor and working class kids in bounds who are benefiting from the repairs? Or has the neighborhood completely turned over so that it's mainly middle and upper income kids who benefit?[/quote]
